Rumor Roundup: Backstage Notes On The Recent WWE Releases, WWE Splitting Up Couple? More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) Two Superstars Who Will Be Joining The Main Roster Soon

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer confirmed that Karrion Kross and Bronson Reed are on the list of Superstars who will be brought up to the WWE main roster soon.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

NXT heavyweight champion Karrion Kross and North American champion Bronson Reed, along with Scarlett, were at the 6/18 Smackdown tapings. Kross worked a match with Ziggler during the afternoon with the writing staff watching and Reed wrestled Roode. Both are now on the list for being brought up, perhaps in the draft. So they wanted everyone to see what they bring to the table from a live perspective and start coming up with ideas to debut them. People will question how Kross beating the top guys in the company like he was Reigns and then leaving makes sense. I guess we’ll have to wait how it plays out because it is the opposite of what would make usual booking sense right now.

My Take:

  • I am interested to see if both guys excel on the main roster.

4) WWE Splitting Up Couple?

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is also testing out both Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux as singles acts.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

This week they were looking at Kross and Scarlett not as a couple as they put Kross in with Benjamin at the Main Event tapings without Scarlett. Kross won that one and the other Main Event bout saw Reed beating Drew Gulak. There was talk of Scarlett getting a look on 6/25 without him.

My Take:

  • Maybe Kross will go to the main roster and then Scarlett will get a chance to shine as singles star in the NXT Women’s division?
